At Team Evesham we believe safety is everyone’s job so we are giving all of our members a 20% discount on RoadID. In our estimation this is the best gift any outdoor enthusiast can buy for themselves. RoadID lists your emergency contact information and key medical concerns. Both of these items are critical for first responders.

This saving is available for our members and it maybe a great time to spread this gift to other family members. We have heard it from several members, my medical info is in my phone or I carry my wallet with me. But when seconds count and first responders need to know immediately, RoadID gives them access to your critical information right on your wrist.

This is limited time discount, you must purchase and use this discount code before December 24. Please take this step to protect yourself and your other family members who are outdoor enthusiasts. The true story about how the company started is the founder was run off the road when he was running.

Here are the details:

These team members rode on Friday. and all have a RoadID.

 

After a frigid Thanksgiving we were looking forward to a ride on Sunday.  We awoke to a sunny day with temperatures all the way up into the mid-forties. Being optimists, it looked promising.  Unfortunately, the early morning rains left wet and flooded roads.  Taking into consideration the dangers presented by puddles and wet leaves, for the safety of our riders we cancelled the ride.  A few decided to take the risks and ride on their own.  However, they did have to make a few detours

Maybe we’ll have better luck next weekend.

Be sure to save the date for our after holidays team party be on January 11^th.   More details are coming soon.

 

       

    

This Sunday we had three ride groups out for a trip to Nixon’s, the gourmet deli of the Pine Barrens.

Team Evesham also was awarded with recognition from the American Cancer Society for our stellar fund raising in the Bridge to the Beach event this past June. We achieved the ninth top fund raising position for 2018.

We also want to wish all of our teammates and their families a joyous celebration this coming Thursday, if the weather forecasts are correct you will need to bundle up to stay warm too.

We are cancelling the Friday ride since it is Black Friday with too many vehicles on the road for safety.  If you do shop be cautious when you drive.

Lastly, we remind you that it is almost summer time in Australia and our favorite mate, Ryan Gaskin is out and leading rides for all of those Team Evesham folks who journey down to visit him. Be sure to ride with Ryan soon.

 

 

A few quick reminders:

1) We are looking for folks too join the team Evesham Board of Directors, email Dave Bennis who chairs the nominating committee at dave@teamevesham.org .

2) Our After Holiday Party is scheduled for Friday, January 11, more details to follow.

This past Sunday we woke to frost on the windshields and temperatures below freezing, but we still had a dozen hearty “ice cube riders” out for a trip to Murphy’s Market. Folks were climbing into their attics for their winter gear; base layers, booties, and warm jackets were required. Sandy was back from overseas and he complained about the 60 degree colder temperatures.

We also honored Veterans Day and thanked those who served. The freedoms we enjoy in the USA come because others have been brave enough to go into battle to protect our way of life.

Speaking of warmer temperatures on your next overseas trip remember we have Team Evesham, ride leaders in both Australia and Israel. Here is Sharon modeling her ride leader team jersey.

The holidays are approaching and we wanted you to reserve the night of Friday, January 11 2019 for the Team Evesham after holiday party.

With the colder weather here with the possibility of snow on Thursday we wanted to offer you a chance to order the custom Team Evesham winter gear. Click HERE for the Team Voler store. Orders will arrive in January.

 

This past Sunday was a perfect day for autumn riding. The sky was clear, little or no wind, and the temperatures while a little cool at the start did warm up for a comfortable ride.  About 40 team members were at Rastelli’s to ride one of the 3 scenic routes out to Pemberton. (49, 41, and 36 miles).  Upon return several rides enjoyed some fine eats and comradery in Rastelli Market Fresh.

Hopefully we will have more days like that before year end, and you’ll be riding with us.

Our sponsor, Danzeisen & Quigley is offering a special on bike fit and tune-up.  It’s a good opportunity to get your bike in top shape for the late autumn and early winter riding season.

This past Sunday was our Halloween ride.  The weather with dark clouds and chilly temperatures set the stage for a possibly spooky ride. Several of our in the “spirit” riders came in costume, those with the best costumes received prizes.  Congratulations to Mike, Matt, VA and Geri.

 

Did I mention spooky?  The second stop was at VA’s for the Haunted Porch and Yard Tour.  We promoted this a few weeks ago.  VA hosts it each year to raise funds to fight cancer.  (See photos below.)

Last chance to order Team Evesham gear from Voler and receive it before the Holidays.  The online store is now open, but it will be  closing on November 5^th.  Items ordered will ship by December 14^th.  Go to Team Store to order.

Save the date – Friday, January 11^th , we will be having a annual after-holiday party.

This past Sunday’s ride from Rastelli’s, but not the Rastelli’s in Marlton.  For a little variety we began the ride at Rastelli’s Hill Creek Farms in Mullica Hill.  It was almost perfect weather for an autumn ride, the only thing missing was sunshine. There was a choice of 2 routes; a 30 mile ride on country roads though the farm lands in South Jersey, the other a 44 mile ride to historic Fort Mott along the Delaware River.

While at Fort Mott our team members took time to admire the view of the Delaware River and to explore the gun emplacements at the Fort, and they took advantage the opportunities for photo ops and many selfies.

On the way back on both rides our riders discovered, and many commented on, that lower Gloucester and Salem counties are not nearly a flat Burlington county.

Upon return we became immersed in the Farm’s pumpkin festival.  All types of activities and foods, but not sure how many stayed to enjoy them.

Reminder – Beginning October 19th all team rides will start at 9:00am.

 

Still to come in October . . .

The first Sunday in October favored us with ideal cycling weather, moderate temperatures and tons of fun with our teammates.  We ventured out to Pemberton and we had four different route options, just amazing to have so many folks out and riding either with us or on the Tour de Pines or the Sea Gull Century.

October will to be month of consecutive special events for Team Evesham, next Sunday, October 14 we will move our ride to Rastelli’s Hill Creek Farms (1631 NJ Route 45, Mullica Hill). This ride will start at 9:00am and we will ride on the rural roads of Salem and Cumberland Counties on all new routes. We will ride alongside farms and take our rest stop at Fort Mott right on the Delaware River. This site protected Philadelphia for many years.  The same great Rastelli’s saving await you here next Sunday, you still save 10% off your lunch food purchases and you can enjoy wine with your lunch too.

Speaking of great teammates here is a picture of two teammates who are faculty members at school in South Jersey. When the theme was wear “Your Favorite Team Shirt” they both wore their cycling kits to school. “In life it’s not where you go, but who you ride with” .
